Read and write feedback

Biber’s Requiem in F minor is among the most striking settings of the requiem mass of the 17th century. The figurative language of the requiem text offered Biber a wealth of possibilities for expressive interpretation. The intensity of the musical language used to portray lamentation and mourning is impressive.

Also available in the original version (Carus 27.3510/00).
